Virtual Instant Ramen King shrine

» by Danny Bloom in: Cool!, Food, Japan, Taiwan

After instant ramen noodle king Ando Momofuku passed away in January, some blokes in Taiwan came up with this idea for a roadside shrine to the Noodle King.

Rest in Peace, Ando Momofuku! (aka Wu Bai-fu)

Don’t you mean actual as opposed to virtual? It looks like a real, physical object to me…

Clayton, you are right, it is not technically a virtual shrine, since it is also a real physical object of sorts. But my idea in making the storybox shrine was to turn it into a virtual shrine on Japundit this way, so it can exist worldwide this way. As it is, the storybox sits on my kitchen table unseen by anyone except the cat and the two parakeets.:smile:
